The main board is located inside the terminal body 10. The display screen 14 is located in the frame 12 and is electrically connected to the synthesizing unit on the main board. The display screen 14 is used to observe the framing or the picture content after the camera 30 is photographed. In this embodiment, the terminal body 10 is a mobile phone main body and has functions of a mobile phone (such as a call function, a music playing function, a game function, an Internet access function, an electronic reading function, etc.), and the display screen 14 may be a touch screen. The synthesis unit can be a chip on the main board.

The outer frame 20 is rotatably coupled to the bezel 12 and may be designed to rotate 360 degrees or other limited angles.

The two cameras 30 are mounted on the outer frame 20, and the lenses of the two cameras 30 are oriented in the same direction. The two cameras 30 are electrically connected to the synthesizing unit to realize synthesis by the synthesizing unit. The image captured by the camera 30 is displayed on the display screen 14. In an embodiment, the image information captured by the camera 30 can be transmitted to the synthesizing unit through a data line, and the image information is performed via the synthesizing unit. Processing is then transmitted to display 14 for display via display 14.

The terminal 100 provided by the present invention is configured to simultaneously capture images by using two cameras 30 by taking two cameras 30, and then synthesizing the images through the synthesizing unit, so that the terminal 100 is not needed. By setting a large-capacity camera module, a picture with better effect can also be obtained, so that the overall size of the terminal 100 can be reduced, and the user experience is good.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 together, the display screen 14 includes a display surface 141. When the outer frame 20 is in a closed state relative to the terminal body 10, the lens orientation of the two cameras 30 and the The orientation of the display surface 141 is reversed.
